Long road ahead. I don't see him beating any title holders at 54.

Retire already

Why?
Just cause he lost to Lara and Canelo?
He is 28 years old FGS.

Well he did beat cotto. And damn near beat canelo. But Lara sent him back down lol. He might be able to beat some contenders

*Yawn* Yeah buddy, you go right ahead... and get back to that top... thingie... place... yeah. See yaaa when you get there...

"Back to the top"? When was he ever there?

After he beat Cotto. He was considered the best 154 pounder (other than Floyd) and was "the guy Canelo is ducking".

Anyway, good luck to Trout, but he was one of the many cases where people thought quick hands + a southpaw stance = greatness, and were proven dead wrong (other examples that come to mind are Devon Alexander and Russell Jr.).

I think Trout could take Andrade.

Trout has really only lost convincingly once, and that was Lara who has a very similar style to him but just a little better. Nothing to be ashamed of there, Lara at his peak is nearly untouchable (even if people dont like it)

A 2nd fight with Canelo is 50/50 to me even though itll never happen. Im sure Trout will be moving up soon anyway, lets hope it adds some more power to his game as it really is lacking
